Below are a few iPhone pictures from the Dia De Los Muertos celebration at Suzie’s Farm Saturday, November 2nd. We couldn’t wait for professional pictures to pop up to share. Everything and everyone looked AMAZING!! Attendees were dressed to the nines in their best fiesta frocks and face paint. There was fantastic authentic Mexican food and drink from local chefs, breweries, and wineries, and everyone was dancing to the live band until closing time.

The Suzie’s Farm staff did an incredible job putting this event together and raising a ton of money for Front Burner Fund and Kitchen Commandos. If you weren’t there you totally missed out! Mark your calendars for next year. There’s nothing quite like salsa dancing under the stars in the middle of a farm :)

Lovely orange marigolds covered The Grove at Suzie’s Farm. Their staff, friends, and family did a great job on the altar and decor. They are also the nicest people ever!

Chickens!

Lauren Sharon Vintage Rentals provided two lounge areas. This first one included our gold sofa, teal metal bench, rustic benches, various side tables and chairs, and a festive backdrop.

The second Lauren Sharon lounge was located near the main stage and included our red crushed velvet sofa, bed bench, cream love seat, various side tables and chairs, and another colorful backdrop.

Long strands of market lights, pink trees, and Lauren Sharon’s illuminated lounge backdrops combined to turn The Grove at Suzie’s Farm into dream world at night.

Wishing everyone an especially scary Halloween today! I tried to find a spooky item from our inventory to post today and decided on this gate. Can’t you picture a bat infested haunted house behind it? Of course, put a bride and some flowers next to the same gate and it becomes shabby chic ;)

Don’t forget to get your Dia De Los Muertos tickets for the family-friendly celebration this Saturday at Suzie’s Farm! The event benefits the Front Burner Fund and Kitchen Commandos, two great, local non-profits. Click here for more information.

As our name suggests, Lauren Sharon Vintage Rentals appreciates old stuff. Vintage style, vintage craftsmanship, and vintage traditions. Being proud residents of Southern California, one of our favorite vintage traditions is Dia De Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. This is a day for remembering and celebrating the lives of those who have passed. This year, we’ve partnered up with the fabulous Suzie’s Farm for a Dia De Los Muertos party you definitely will not want to miss. You only live once, right?

In addition to the festive lounges and decor by Lauren Sharon (check out our Pinterest inspiration board!), this family-friendly celebration will feature traditional Mexican dishes prepared by some of our favorite San Diego and Baja chefs. Click here for a full list of participating restaurants. The event will also include live music from Charlie Chavez y Su Afrotruko, hosted by Chris Springer and the Latin Grooves show on Jazz 88.

Nothing completes a space quite like the perfect chandelier. That philosophy can also be applied to weddings! Hang chandeliers above your altar, sweetheart table, dance floor, or just around your venue for subtle vintage ambiance. It’s all about the details.

Stop by the Lauren Sharon Vintage Rentals warehouse to see our assortment of lighting styles ranging from crystal-clad to rustic iron. We’re open seven days a week by appointment.

We’ve been so busy shuffling these farm-style dining tables around San Diego for events we haven’t had a chance to talk about them (or even post them on the website!) until now.

Matching farm-style tables have been a fairly frequently requested item all summer – trend alert! Sure, we have tons of different vintage dining tables at the Lauren Sharon warehouse, but not everyone wants to mix and match. The brides have spoken, so we put aside a few days over the summer and built a handful of the farm tables you see below. We’ve been using them non-stop ever since!

Contact us if you’d like to rent one for your upcoming San Diego wedding or special event! And if there is a piece you want for your wedding but cant find anywhere, tell us! What we can’t find, we build ;)
